Dear Future Syriana, I hope that you have been treating yourself kindly. I have the utmost trust in the fact that you will have friends that you love and care about and they feel the same to you. I want you to have a solid idea on what you want to do with a psychology career, I want you to be someone that I can be proud of. College may be hard but adult life always will be, so suck it up and do it. I want you to have kicked the nasty habit of procrastination that you have and that you learn the most effective techniques so that you can help those around you. You deserve the world and you should work hard to make sure that it is deserving of you. Help all the people that you can whether it  be from working minimum wage during summer, or if you do a research that truly rattles the ordinary mind, do what makes the present you the most happy. I want to get more active and have a better balance of work and play, it’s something that really needs to be fixed even if it seems really hard just like now, you can do it. You WILL have friends, a happy life, a good support group, wonderful study habits and all the amazing things that I know we deserve. Excelle in what you love, learn how to embroidery more effectively, walk the Appalachian, get better and healthier habits and most importantly be happy with what you make for yourself. I will always believe in you future self so do the things that will lead us to the most happiness and think of all the people that you will meet, love, hate, and experience along the way. I’m always cheering you on!!! 

With so much love,

your past self.
